PyPy 2.4.0 released, 9 days left in funding drive

We're pleased to announce the availability of PyPy 2.4.0; faster, fewer bugs, and updated to the python 2.7.8 stdlib.

This release contains several bugfixes and enhancements. Among the user-facing improvements:

internal refactoring in string and GIL handling which led to significant speedups

improved handling of multiple objects (like sockets) in long-running programs. They are collected and released more efficiently, reducing memory use. In simpler terms - we closed what looked like a memory leak

This release supports x86 machines running Linux 32/64, Mac OS X 64, Windows, and OpenBSD, as well as newer ARM hardware (ARMv6 or ARMv7, with VFPv3) running Linux.
We would like to thank our donors for the continued support of the PyPy project.

Please try it out and let us know what you think. We especially welcome success stories, please tell us about how it has helped you!

Cheers, The PyPy Team
